New Here, 2 months on Atkins and counting

[findingkristy]

I realized that I had not posted an intro here, I made a post over at the main forum, but wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Kristy, and I am 30 years old. I did Atkins back in 2005 - 2006 and lost over 40 pounds. I then gave up on the lifestyle, and gained all of the weight back. I started on Youtube as Findingkristy back in 2008 and lost about 22 pounds. I gained 9 of it back and decided it was time to go back to the low carb lifestyle. I have been on Atkins now for 2 months and have lost 16 pounds! I am 15 pounds from my goal.

I look forward to getting to know everyone

Hi Kristy! Welcome back. Thanks for the link and introducing yourself. It's so nice to meet other people who are on Atkins and achieving their goals. I'm watching your video now on youtube. Thank you.

HI kristy and welcome back! Sounds like going through the rungs is your ticket to learning long term maintenance. Did you do that before or just go back to eating your old ways after you reached goal?

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Regardless of what you did before, or what people are doing now, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.
